    Amazing, small group. Don't eat before. There was plenty of food! Plenty of drinks water and alcohol. The guide was very knowledgeable. We didn't have any restrictions but she double checked.

    Our guide Orestes (sp?) was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. Food stops were great, everything was delicious. Really enjoyed some of the local insight to the areas we walked.

    The tour was great. Very knowledgeable tour guide, about food, history, and the city. Highly recommended. Only suggestion is to have a different meeting point. The meeting spot happened to have three homeless people there. Not sure how often that happens. I understand it’s beyond the control of the company/ tour guide.

  • Great tour!

    I would recommend this tour to everyone. Many choices of traditional Greek cuisine with very knowledgeable guide. One of the best tours I’ve been on. It was also a great way to see parts of the city too. A full 3 hours of eating. It is a walking tour but not too much at one time so very doable. We got to meet others from the States so that was fun too.

  • What a great good tour!...
